The process is the punishment.
There’s a large incentive to show that you’re punishing somebody who refuses to take a plea deal.
The plea deal system in the US courts is a form of corruption.
I can’t believe the government seized his assets before even convicting him of a crime.
Why? They do it all the time. And sell it off before trial concludes so even if you win, good luck getting it back.
The police are a legal street gang in the US.
